outlook rules not working after upgrade from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010

I have moved my mailbox from the 2003 server to the 2010 server and am using outlook 2010. after the migration none of my rules worked. I went into them turned them off hit apply then turned them back on again and hit apply and now they work. While I'm ok now, I'm getting ready to move 5000 users and have neen told I have to find a solution not involving each individual have to do the procedure I went through... I'm not finding anything to useful out there... any ideas?

Try this out on one of the mailboxes. Exchange 2010 has 6 powershell cmdlets to help manage Inbox Rules Get-InboxRule, Set-InboxRule, Remove-InboxRule, Disable-InboxRule, Enable-InboxRule and New-InboxRule.

You should be able to do something like "Get-InboxRule -Mailbox user@domain.com" to see a list of all their server side rules. From there you can see if the rules are enabled or disabled. They can be disabled (and re-enabled) using the disable & enable inboxrule cmdlets too

I have a script that will turn them off then back on again.... only problem is that it is an all or nothing. if you had a rule in your mb and did not have it turned on... after this script it would be :)

Solution is to have everyone run the script on their own machine if they are affected.
